Lincoln

The Lincoln school district in Massachusetts consists of two public elementary schools serving grades PK-8: Lincoln School and Hanscom Middle. Based on the available data, Lincoln School appears to be the standout performer, consistently ranking among the top 100 elementary schools in the state and demonstrating significantly higher proficiency rates on standardized assessments compared to both Hanscom Middle and the state average.

Lincoln School's academic excellence is particularly evident in 8th grade math and civics, where proficiency rates exceed 80%. Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, with Lincoln School at 9.5 and Hanscom Middle at 8.0, suggesting a focus on individualized attention. However, the data shows that Hanscom Middle spends more per student ($28,262) than Lincoln School ($27,456), which could be due to factors like the Hanscom Air Force Base location or district funding allocations.

While the data provides a clear picture of the academic performance of these two schools, the lack of information on free/reduced lunch rates is a notable gap, as this metric is often used to understand the socioeconomic makeup of a school's student population. Overall, the data indicates that Lincoln School is an academically strong public elementary school, outperforming its local peer and the state average on key metrics.
